Biography

Early life

Kevin Elijah Burgess was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, on July 21, 1988, [1] into a military family. [2] Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Southern Illinois. When he was eight years old, his parents divorced, and he moved back with his mother to the south side of St. Petersburg, which, according to Burgess, is "probably one of the worst areas in the state." [2] Although he excelled at a good school and was offered a path to college through a program at St. Petersburg Collegiate High School, he struggled with severe depression. He experimented with various drugs in an attempt to find relief, [2] which negatively affected his performance at school and led him into a downward spiral, even contemplating suicide. [2] [3]

Formation of HGA

After high school, Burgess enrolled in Bible college, where he befriended a group of Christian rappers. They formed a hip-hop group called HGA, short for His Glory Alone. [2] [3] HGA eventually caught the interest of Lecrae, Ben Washer, and DJ Official, [3] and was featured alongside Tedashii on the track "Go" from DJ Official's album Intermission. [4] [5] Burgess was invited onto the Acquire the Fire tour by Lecrae and was asked to join the Reach Records team just a few months later. [3]
